Well, well! 1t seems as though we had rur
,Gui lou OF. OF E hornets nest, II We may judge from
remarks. And 1t seems like some ones toes
have been trampled on. Well, "tail aches
from little toe corns grOw' and it may he &c
si,r,s an sSis g. case In In the first place .Elmite''
Is 70 everlRstingly do us up" and 1t is this
More than fico-thirds of the voters Of our dis.
trict are republicans and no stampede such az
aescri0eu by your regular correspondent ex-
lsts" Now your irregular correspondent has
made some very irregnlar statements which
SHOWS gross ignorance or wiliful preversion OF
10 ac5s, vs., as we propose to show First In regard
ne means school district No. IA, but from what
| ne says IL might mean our representative dis
tsict or road district. He says more than two
pen to he personally acquainted with every
voter In our school district and they vote as
follows; Republican, esi democrat. Is; prohi-
1ttion. m total, 10. Finite" wants to say
to DO SO but we shall always entertain q little
private opinion about it that is somewhat diff
ferent from that one. But he says we reported
we? Let us see. We said that ''Ewings sun
porters were scarce and getting scarcer, and
that yon could not make the majority Of the
Just" or words to that effect (Of course
"Elmite" would approve his course, as would
any other disciple of Murat Hslstead.) But
we don't believe that "Elmite, " ye editor. or
H. n
stampede from party and its principles, for
large number of Its members to refuse to SUM-
port particular candidate and especially re-
tnse to approve his course when he attemL t..
by every means In his power to prevent his
successful opponent from filling the ofIice to
which he was elected. Why even now our
memory, treacheroos as il is. calls before our |
and nearly all the other prominent republicans /
Of the county refused to support their nominee
lor sheriff because, fOrsoOth, he was member /
about a stampede. nor did we hear that those
who refused to support their nominee Were
lost to the G. o. r. We have not
Ieem every republican in the district to get his
iave seen, (and we have seen seven,) do not
approve Ewing's course As to his supporters
,etting scarcer, we are reliably informed by
ng' course right at the commencement Of the
ontest, does not think SO now. So that is q
erceptible diminution Of supporters. We
ear that the man who expects nomination"
7rote his little piece and has learned about
Ow many delegates he can depend on getting
rom Elm township: We are morally certain
ears among our republican friends that the
FORMATION v0uchsafed him is substantially
,rrect Yes, We chance to know those
,twenty-ave , or more voters in one portion Of
le township is next to lola, but then at the
'me time we happen to know two hundred or
81 ore IN the other portions Of the township who
link just In the opposite And that isn't ali
hey intend to act just the way they think.
Now Mr. Editor, one word about those DEM
ratio spectscles and We are done First =
anki"g you for your compliment to us, we
III say that after this you had better come out
d make thorough investigation of the facts
fore you take; up too readily the statements
at !, .",, some republicans carry to you Repub!i
a harmony.
As to those ''specs," perhaps you had better
u. as we heard q republican in lola q few
ys ago say they were making q democrat OIL
u very fast
As We havn't any room for news we will
we them until next week. BoyNY Rem
